Description

This information applies to all Planned functions.

There are two events for sorting order lines:

1 . OnAfterSetCurrentKey-events

• • Set Sorting Direction
  • Set a new key using any of the fields in the Element table
  • This will affect the 'Sorting' value in the Xml indirectly by affecting the looping of the record
  • Can only be used if the field/tag to sort exists as a field in the Element table
    
    

2 . OnAfterSetFrom-events

• • Set Sorting1, [Sorting2, ...] values directly (internal fields used only for sorting)
  • 'Sorting' in the Xml is generated during a looping of the record
  • If no other key is set, default sort order is "Sorting1, Sorting2, Sorting3, Sorting4, Sorting5"
  • Can be used to sort on any value, including custom values that do not exist as fields in the Element table

Sorting on Existing fields

Use OnAfterSetCurrentKey-events.

• Change sorting key

  • Use .SetCurrentKey(field, [field2, ...])-function with any of the existing fields from the Line table (Record parameter on this event).
    
    
    

• Change sorting direction

  • Use .Ascending(true/false)-function.
    

    Filter by label (Content by label)
    showLabels false max 152 showSpace false sort title title Available events cql label = "bc" and label = "orderlines" and label = "onaftersetcurrentkey" and label = "integrationevent"

Sorting on Custom fields

Use.OnAfterSetFrom-events.

• Change sorting key 

  • Use Set_Sorting1()-function.
    

    Filter by label (Content by label)
    showLabels false max 150 showSpace false sort title title Available events cql label = "bc" and label = "orderlines" and label = "onaftersetfrom" and label = "integrationevent"

    
    
    
    

• Change sorting direction

  • This is done in two steps:
  1. Use OnAfterSetFrom[ and the Set_Sorting1()-function.
  2. Use OnAfterSetCurrentKey and the .Ascending()-function.

Helper Functions

The event parameter "_BaseOrderLineElementView" includes five sorting functions Set_Sorting1..5 , which you can use to sort on up to four new custom fields .

Example 1: Sort by Item No.

• Change key to existing field "ItemNumber" on the base element
• Change sorting direction to "Descending"

For this task you can use an OnAfterSetCurrentKey event.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Receive", 'OnGetReceiveOrderLines_OnAfterSetCurrentKey', '', true, true)]
procedure MyOnGetReceiveOrderLines_OnAfterSetCurrentKey(var _BaseOrderLineElementView: Record "MOB Ns BaseDataModel Element")
begin
     _BaseOrderLineElementView.SetCurrentKey(ItemNumber);
     _BaseOrderLineElementView.Ascending(false);
end;
 

Example 2: Sort by Quantity in decending order

For this task you must use the OnAfterSetFrom event

• Quantity is a number formatted as text, we need to pad the values with zeros to get the correct numeric sorting order

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Pick", 'OnGetPickOrderLines_OnAfterSetFromAnyLine', '', true, true)]
localprocedure My2aOnGetPickOrderLines_OnAfterSetFromAnyLine(_RecRef: RecordRef; var _BaseOrderLineElement: Record "MOB Ns BaseDataModel Element")
begin
    // Pad the text values with zeros to get the correct numeric sorting order
    _BaseOrderLineElement.Set_Sorting1(_BaseOrderLineElement.Get_Quantity().PadLeft(10, '0'));
end;

Change to decending order

You can skip this subscriber if you want regular ascending order

EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Pick", 'OnGetPickOrderLines_OnAfterSetCurrentKey', '', true, true)]
procedure My2bOnGetReceiveOrderLines_OnAfterSetCurrentKey(var _BaseOrderLineElementView: Record "MOB Ns BaseDataModel Element")
begin
    // OPTIONAL: Remove this part if you want regular ascending ordering
    _BaseOrderLineElementView.Ascending(false);
end;

Example 3: Sort by a custom field

• Sort lines by you own custom field

For this task you must use the OnAfterSetFrom event.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Receive", 'OnGetReceiveOrderLines_OnAfterSetFromAnyLine', '', true, true)]
procedure OnGetReceiveOrderLines_OnAfterSetFromAnyLine(_RecRef: RecordRef; var _BaseOrderLineElement: Record "MOB Ns BaseDataModel Element")
var
     Item: Record Item;
begin
     with _BaseOrderLineElement do begin

          // New custom field
          Item.Get(Get_ItemNumber());
          SetValue('SpecialEquipmentCode', Item."Special Equipment Code");

          // Sort by custom field
          Set_Sorting1(GetValue('SpecialEquipmentCode'));
     end;
end;

How it works behind the scenes

The "sorting" tags determines the sorting on mobile as part of Order Lines GetOrderLines Response.

• These examples affects the sorting value indirectly by affecting the looping of the record.
• The sorting value is automatically calculated as a result of of the looping order.
